>*"I am treating exhilaration or happiness as an emotion which is 'natural' which make me think less of controlling my "speech errors" in speech."* Now I understand what you mean. I agree with you 100%. We can use feelings like exhilaration or happiness (the emotion) to think less of controlling speech errors in speech. Yes, this makes sense. If this is true, then the question is: How can feeling happiness and exhilaration result in thinking less of controlling errors/speech? How does it work exactly?
